Malathion: Things to Know Before Spraying this Insecticide
Embed:
Malathion (C10H19O6PS2) is a popular organophosphate insecticide used for many insecticidal reasons, including the control of the mosquito population. Malathion attacks the nervous system in mosquitoes, leaving them helpless, and ultimately causing their deaths. Although this is the desired end effect, the problem is that this chemical has the potential to do the same or worse damage in humans and animals if the misuse of Malathion or an impure form of Malathion is fogged or sprayed in mega doses.
